| dc.description.abstract | December 1, 1861, Darien, Georgia: William W. Knight writes to his wife, Mary Knight, informing her of his recent receipt of her letter and expressing relief that she and the children are well. He notes the presence of sickness in the camp, including cases of measles, but hopes it doesn't spread. He provides updates on the health of family members, including their father, who is recovering, and Brother John, who has had a severe cold. William stresses the importance of frequent communication, inquiring about the state of their affairs, the potential hiring of a worker, and the loyalty of Isaiah Kirkland. He mentions the imminent payment by the paymaster. Despite a cold and cough of his own, William reports his general well-being and comments on the unusually hot weather. He sends his love and asks Mary to kiss the children on his behalf. | en_US |
